Regent
A great way for you beginners to start-up and get to higher difficulty levels is practicing with archipelago in the easier difficulties. Not only does this teach you how to effectively maneuver a navy force(as i know most newbies are generally pangea addicts) but it also helps you by removing the desperate wonder fixiation most of you are suffering from. In archipelago, pretty much all useful ancient age wonders excl. GL(i dont understand why its so useful) and The lighthouse, see their effects almost nullfied. Of course you'll still have to practice some limiting on yourself but i personally found this a great boost on regent and skipped straight to emperor after only 2 monarch games. Hope this helps
